For structural steel projects, there are many factors to consider before submitting your bid. Some of these factors include the number of plates, connectors, and accessories. In addition, it is also important to know the measurement of the beams, and the number as well as the types of beams, and number of man hours, among other things. Missing any of these crucial details can make your steel bid & estimation inaccurate. It is important to ensure that your steel project bid estimates are accurate before submission. That’s where eTakeoff’s structural steel estimating software comes into play!
